Floral red fruits are found in the aromatics of the 2002 Echezeaux (domaine). Medium-bodied, this is a satin-textured wine in the attack and mid-palate. Lovely red berries can be detected among this concentrated effort’s ripe yet highly present tannin. It tightens in the finish, leading me to believe it requires cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2014. Importer: Clicquot, Inc., New York, NY; tel. (212) 888-7575

A powerful wine, filled with rich, solid fruit, high tannins and shot through with dark plums, flavors of toast and a layer of acidity.——R.V.(9/1/2004)—— 94
